Definitions
- This disclosure relates generally to the field of energy systems and, more particularly, to systems and methods for delivering power from and storing energy in an energy system.
- Existing energy systems include a grid, a load, a power line system connecting the grid to the load, a controls/computer system, and a human machine interface to provide user access to the energy system through the controls/computer system.
- Energy assets including energy storage devices, dispatchable energy resources, and renewable energy resources, can also be included and are coupled to the grid to satisfy the energy requirements of one or more customers.
- Energy assets within a grid are typically selected and sized for the applications and operated to maximize benefits to the one or more customers.
- energy assets such as power plants (e.g., nuclear, coal, natural gas, diesel, combined heat and power (CHP)), and renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind), are selected and sized to meet the demands of a maximum possible load.
- the energy assets are also controlled (dispatched) to control the costs or the storage and delivery of power.
- certain assets are less expensive to operate but their power output cannot be rapidly adjusted (e.g., coal, nuclear).
- Other energy assets have faster response times, but are more expensive and are often used sparingly for some applications, such as supplying the peak loads during the day.
- renewable energy sources that are available either intermittently, such as wind energy, or during certain times, such as solar energy, cannot always be relied on during, for instance, periods of peak load requirements.
